Ch. 311..320

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 311

On the way back, Giselle would not stop grumbling, "Lily, although we dodged a bullet earlier, your behavior today was very inappropriate.Due to your impulsiveness, our efforts were almost in vain."

Lily expected this from Giselle, but she did not expect her to be so long-winded, so she smiled at her, "Was it that serious?"

Seeing that Lily did not recognize the gravity of the situation, Giselle became deadly serious, "Lily, I don't know how you could still smile.Do you think that nothing happened? It just so happened that you knew Mr.Parker's daughter, but what if you didn’t know her? What if his daughter didn't show up? What if she didn’t think of you as her friend? "When we are in someone else's territory, we are at the mercy of the host.The organizer was indeed negligent, but we can always give feedback to them later instead of accusing them in public.If they disqualify us over this..."

"Well, they didn’t include us as qualified candidates!" Lily interrupted Giselle.

She could not stand her ranting, "Please, there’s just too many ‘what ifs’ that you're suggesting."

Giselle was stunned there, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Giselle, I know you’re looking out for the company, and your intention is good, but can't you see? Participants from Hyderland and other smaller countries do not matter here.In fact, it doesn’t matter whether we are qualified for this competition.Believe it or not, even if I won the prize this time, they’ll say I got it illegitimately."

The issue of discrimination was already prevalent here, and now that everyone knew that she was friends with Wesley Parker’s daughter, if she won the award, people would undoubtedly think that she got it through connections.

What Melanie said earlier was an excellent example.

Of course, Melanie did not represent everyone, but some people would think the same way.Lily could already foresee the consequences before she participated in the competition.

"Well..."

Giselle did not think of this.

When Lily started arguing with Wesley Parker, Giselle was only worried that Lily had offended him and Rebirth would not be able to expand their business abroad in the future.

What Lily said had just dawned on her.

"Then are we now in a dilemma?" Giselle said cautiously.

If Lily entered the competition, there would be two possible outcomes.

Firstly, losing and returning home in despair and, secondly, winning and being deemed illegitimate, which would not be glorious either.

If she withdrew from the competition, people may think she was intimidated, which would be worse.

In other words, Lily was damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.

"Yeah."

Lily nodded solemnly, but she was not very worried.

Still, she was better off distracting her assistant with this problem rather than keeping her by her side, muttering in her ears.

Sure enough, this move worked very well, and Giselle fell into deep thought.

Upon returning to the hotel, Giselle went into her own room to work, presumably to do a routine report and think of a solution.

Lily could use silence and some alone time.She entered her room and put on comfortable clothes before turning on her phone.

There were a few unread messages, one of which was a greeting emoji from Lisa.

Lily smiled and replied with an emoji.

There were also some messages from the company group chat.

There were sent by Jenny and Olivia.

They wanted to know whether she had arrived.

Lily checked in with them but omitted what happened at the reception banquet.She told them that she had fallen asleep due to jet lag.

Finally, she checked and confirmed that Alexander had not sent her any message, so she was a little disappointed.

Was he so busy that he did not even have time to send her a message? Her fingers tapped on her screen, wanting to send a message to him, but after pondering, she deleted it.

Why should she text him first if he did not text her?

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 312

However, she could not help but open the chat window again after awhile.

Nowadays, it should not be a problem for a woman to take the initiative.She convinced herself there was nothing wrong with sending him a text first.

Lily quickly typed, "I've arrived!"

Then she sent it out immediately, without giving herself a chance to hesitate.

However, her message seemed to have sunk into the sea.

There was no response at all, not even an emoji.

Staring at the screen, Lily felt embarrassed.She had taken the initiative, yet there was no reaction from him.

Lily long-pressed her message, wanting to un-send the message, but the time limit for un-sending had lapsed.

D*mn it! She was upset when her phone rang suddenly.

Seeing Alexander’s name flashing on her screen, she was excited and wanted to press the answer button.

Just as she was about to answer, she stopped herself abruptly.

No, no, no! Picking it up in such a hurry, wouldn’t it be obvious that she was waiting for his call? After three seconds, she answered the phone anyway, fearing that he thought she was unavailable and would hang up.

"Hello?"

She sounded a little lazy.

"Seven hours and twenty-eight minutes," he said.

"What?"

Blinking, Lily didn't understand what he meant.

"You’re seven hours and twenty-eight minutes late."

Alexander seemed to be looking at the time, "According to the flight time, you should've arrived seven hours and twenty-eight minutes ago.Even taking into account the journey on the road and some rest time, you are still about five hours late."

Lily was stunned for a moment, then retorted, "What about you? You’re also seven hours and twenty-eight minutes late! No, it's seven and a half hours!"

What the hell? Obviously, he was keeping track of her flight time, so he could very well take the initiative to call her and send a message.

How dare he blame her for being late? "I'm sorry.I was in a meeting,"

Alexander sighed, pinching his nose.

After a whole day of long meetings, Alexander was exhausted.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe just had a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

When he was about to call her, her message came.

Although it's just a simple text, it warmed his heart and eliminated his fatigue.

"Okay, I forgive you!"

Since he apologized, Lily happily forgave him.

"Is everything alright over there? I know that there are a few pretty good restaurants.You can try it,"he said, "I'll send you the address later."

"If you think they’re good, they must not be cheap."

She poked her finger on the bed and pouted, "Forget it.I'll have room service."

"You can use my credit card!" He laughed when she complained about the price.

"Well, how do I do that? Bring your card here."

She stretched out her hand as if he could put the card in her palm in the next second.

He was a few thousand kilometers away.How could she use his card???”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 313

"There’s a black credit card with no password in your luggage’s middle compartment.You can use it."

To Lily’s surprise, Alexander said that.Lily got up quickly and rummaged through her luggage.

Sure enough, she found a black credit card with gold accents.It did not look like any ordinary credit card.

"When did you put it there?"

"It doesn't matter.As long as you can use it."

After a pause, he continued, "It's not easy being out there, so eating and sleeping well must be your priority.Remember to take care of yourself when I’m not around."

His words moved Lily, and she felt very much at ease.

All she knew was to be independent and self-sufficient since her childhood.

Now she had someone who would always think about her and be concerned about whether or not she was eating and sleeping well.Her well-being seemed to be the most crucial thing to Alexander.

"Sure, you too," Lily said softly.

Alexander smiled and seemed to recall something, "By the way, I heard the organizers invited Wesley Parker.That person is a bit difficult to deal with, so if you bump into him, remember to avoid confrontation as much as possible."

‘Oops"

Lily was silent, thinking about what Alexander had just said.

Hearing no immediate response from Lily, Alexander’s heart skipped a beat.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe asked cautiously, 'Don’t tell me you’ve already met him?"

"Hmm."

Lily snorted softly and told him everything that had happened today.

After she finished speaking, it was Alexander's turn to be silent.

"Are you speechless because of what I did?"

Initially, Lily did not think anything was wrong with what she did, but when she narrated the encounter to Alexander from a fresh point of view, Lily thought that maybe she should not have offended such a heavyweight as soon as she arrived.

Nonetheless, if Lily could do it again, she probably would have done the same thing.She could bear many things, but she could not bear the blatant disrespect and contempt for the perfumers from Hyderland.

"Not really," Alexander said while rubbing his forehead.He new her temperament very well, but he did not expect her to meet Wesley Parker on her first day there.

Alexander could never have foreseen their encounter as well.

He continued, "Didn’t it all work out in the end? Mr.Parker didn’t get mad at you, and he didn't kick you out."

"Well, yes, thanks to Lisa." Lily was aware of that.

"If it weren't for Lisa, I might have gotten thrown out today." She said half- jokingly.

Of course, she knew this was impossible.

As a top international perfumer, even if Wesley Parker were furious, he would not have done so much in front of too many people.

Besides, Lily was not in the wrong.

The organizer was indeed negligent and sloppy.

Wesley Parker was angry because he got embarrassed in public.

If he had kicked her out because of this, it would not have looked too good on him.

"Ultimately, it's still because of you.If it weren't for the friends you made back then, how could it have ended the way it did today? "

However, Alexander was also surprised by Lily’s social circle, "I didn't expect you to be friends with Mr.Parker’s daughter."

Many wanted to get close to Wesley Parker and use him to make a name for themselves in the industry, but who would have thought that Lily was friends with his daughter?

"I didn't know Lisa was his daughter.When I met Lisa, she was just an ordinary, introverted little girl.I never expected her to be related to Wesley Parker."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 314

Lily was surprised.She did not have many friends, but she managed to meet one here in Woodland, and that friend turned up to be someone of high caliber.

"Well, it’s unexpected, but it’s your blessing."

In any case, Alexander was relieved.

At least with this relationship, Wesley Parker would not be too hard on her.

"What kind of blessing is this? I’m in such a dilemma now.Whether I join the competition or not, it will not end well for me."

Lily murmured while looking up at the ceiling.

"Are you afraid?"

Alexander turned his chair to face the glass window.Outside was the boundless night view of the city.It was late at night, but he had no intention of going home.

Without her, he would much rather stay in the office and face the table full of work.

"Why would I be afraid? I’ve encountered worse.I can’t control what others say, can I? I’ll do what I must!"

Although Lily was complaining, she had already made up her mind.She could not change the situation she was in.She had never backed down when faced with adversaries.

Why should she withdraw from the competition because of what people might say? She joined the industry because she loved perfumery, not because she wanted approval and fame.

If Lily cared about public perception, she would have been devastated when Nathaniel and Melanie teamed up to slander her.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHer words made Alexander laugh, "Just do whatever you want.I have your back."

This statement was the best encouragement, and support Lily needed.She felt relieved knowing there would always be someone there to support her no matter what.She was no longer working or fighting alone.

Lily thought someone was knocking on her door when she heard a knocking sound.She answered, but there was no one there.She then realized the sound came from Alexander's side of the call.

"It sounds like someone is looking for you.We'll talk later."

Before Alexander could say anything, Lily hung up the phone.He frowned as he looked up at the door.

"Come in."

"Mr.Russell, it’s Ms.Oakley."

Edward looked a little uneasy.

The person entered Alexander’s office, ranting and complaining, "Hal! I knew Alex was here.Why did you stop me, Edward? What kind of secretary are you?"

"Ms.Oakley..."

Alexander sat up straight and waved his hand, and then Edward stopped and exited the office.

The woman who came in was wearing Chanel's latest slim-fit trench coat this fall.

After she walked in, she took it off and revealed a tight little black dress she was wearing underneath.

The dress fitted her body perfectly, outlining her curves distinctly.

She took a few steps forward with a smile on her face.

Then, seeming to recall something, she glanced at the door and said dissatisfiedly, Edward is losing his grip.He doesn't even know how to close the door."

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Alexander say, "Leave it open."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 315

Brittany Oakley’s hand paused in mid-air.

Then she turned around and smiled at Alexander.

"Okay, we’ll do it your way."

She went to the office table, put down the bag, and opened it.

Inside was a big lunch box.

"I know you forget about everything when you work.That includes eating."

She picked up the coffee cup in front of him, then poured away its contents.

"Drinking coffee without a proper meal isn’t good for your stomach.

You don’t know how to take care of yourself, do you?"

As she said that, she opened the lunchbox.

Nestled within it was hot food.Not only was the color of the food attractive, but it also smelled mouthwatering.

" cooked your favorite BBQ ribs.I also made fried chicken."

Full of enthusiasm, she placed some cutleries in front of him.

With both hands supporting her chin, she looked at him with a yearning expression.

Alexander shot her a look and said faintly, "You cooked all this?"

"Yes.Quick, sample my handiwork.Go on," Brittany urged.She smiled so wide that her eyes turned into slits.

"You cooked?"

Alexander repeated, but it was a rhetorical question.His cold eyes bore a hole into her as if trying to read her thoughts.

Pouting, Brittany stood up and stomped her feet.

"Fine.I got takeout from Cloudy.I just got off a plane and didn’t have much time, alright? I’m still jet-lagged and exhausted.Even if I wanted to cook, I had no time to buy the ingredients."

"I never said you have to cook."

Alexander put the lid back on the lunch box and pushed it aside.

"Since you’re tired, you should go home and get some rest.Not come here."

"T wanted to see you."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Brittany got angry when she saw him push the lunch box aside without taking a bite.

"Even if I didn’t cook it, I did buy it.Why won’t you just try some? Don't you like the food from Cloudy’s?"

"I’m not hungry," Alexander said faintly, "It's late. I'll get Edward to send you home."

"I don’t want to go home."

Brittany furrowed her brows and said unhappily, "If you don’t like takeout, let’s go out and eat.I'll go with you."

Brittany went forward and held onto his wrist.

"We could go for a late-night meal, Alex.Let’s go!" she said coquettishly.

As soon as she got off the plane, she immediately went to get him some food so that she would have an excuse to see him sooner.

Why would she leave so soon? She just got there.No way.She wanted to stay a little longer.

"Brittany, that’s enough." Alexander prised her fingers off of him.

"It’s late.You must be tired from your flight.Go home and rest."

"I don’t want to!"

Brittany lost her temper when she saw Alexander’s insistence on sending her away.

"You know that I just got off a plane.Aren’t you happy to see me? We haven’t met in half a year.I went to get you food as soon as I got back, yet you don’t appreciate it? You’re even trying to drive me away!"

"It’s already late out.It’s not safe for a girl to be out alone." Alexander frowned.

"Next time, don’t stay out until so late.It’s not a good habit."

"What's so bad about it? I like you, and the whole world knows it.I just wanted to see you!" Brittany shouted.

The office staff would have heard her confession if they were still around.

Alexander looked up at her.

"But I don’t like you that way.Brittany, as I said before, you’re like a sister to me.If that’s not how you see our relationship, don’t say I’m like a brother to you either."

The Oakleys and the Russells were good family friends.

The older generation had good relations with one another.The old man of the Russells owed the Oakleys a favor.

Because of that, the two families were close.They had even merged their families through marriage.

Brittany’s uncle married Alexander’s aunty.So to a certain extent, they were related.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 316

Brittany's crush on Alexander was never a secret.

Despite his repeated rejections, she never gave up hope.She reasoned that Alexander must have liked her since he remained single.

He only treated her like a sister because their families were close, but he secretly loved her.It was that kind of conviction that helped her persist.She believed that one day, she would touch his heart.

Sooner or later, he would be hers.

Looking at his gloomy expression, Brittany felt a little scared.She bit her lower lip and grabbed his sleeve.

"Fine.I’ve not seen you in ages, and I miss you.Please don’t be so fierce.

I even went and bought you a late-night snack.It is bad enough that you don’t value it, but you went and scolded me about it."

She pouted.

Tears had welled up in her eyes, at the risk of falling at any moment.Alexander looked at her and sighed.

"You’re not a kid anymore.Don't be so wilful.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмYou’re back after half a year so your parents and brother must miss you.You should go home sooner."

"They don’t miss me.They only care about their business.Even you are the same as them now.All of you only care about your business.Nobody cares about me!" she said as she grabbed the lunchbox.

"Fine, I’ll go home, but you must eat first.After you eat, T’ll leave." She handed over the food with both hands.

The look on her face told Alexander he needed to finish the meal, or she would be unhappy.

"Brittany, don’t be willful."

He knew she meant well but did not want to encourage her.

Having expectations dashed was the worst.Therefore, he chose to dampen her expectations from the start.

He stood up and took his coat as he called, "Edward..."

"Mr.Russell."

Edward, who had been on guard outside the door, heard his name being called and immediately entered.

Alexander said, "Send Ms.Oakley home."

"You..."

Brittany didn’t expect him to refuse such a small request of hers.Did he think there was poison in the food that would kill him?

"Alexander, I hate you! Fine, don’t eat.I’ll throw it in the trash to feed the dogs."

She grabbed the lunchbox and left angrily.Edward looked on from outside the door.She had rushed out so quickly that he did not have the chance to react.

What was he supposed to do now? Alexander looked up.

"Go check on her and send her home."

No matter how willful this girl was, she was his family friend.If something happened late at night, the fault would fall on him.

"Then you..." Edward asked with hesitation.

"I'll drive the other car," Alexander said.

"Send her back, then go home and rest yourself."

"Okay," Edward replied, then chased after Brittany.

The smell of food lingered in the air.

Alexander rubbed his stomach.He was a little hungry.He took his keys and looked at the time.He thought of Lily, who was in Westwood.It should be mealtime there too.

He would have a simple late-night snack and imagined he was eating with her, who was half a globe away.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 317

His guess was utterly correct.

Lily was indeed ready for dinner.

Initially, it was enough to pass it off, but Alexander's recommendation roused her interest.

To Lily, the joy of life was not only to make fragrances but also to eat.

Food must not disappoint.

Lily had planned to invite Giselle, but as she approached the latter's door, she second-guessed her decision, given the likelihood that the meal would be filled with constant nagging.

Lily gave up and decided to buy takeout for her instead.She called a cab and randomly gave the location of one of the restaurants.

Lily could indeed speak the Westwood language.

Even if she was there alone, it was not that difficult to communicate, but not many people knew about it.

Even Nathaniel might have been unaware that she could speak multiple languages.

Lily had a high level of comprehension in her studies.She learned them because she was interested in them.It was easier to look up some foreign fragrance materials or the history of spices.She needed to use them, so she went on to study them.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

It was not something worth showing off, so it was never mentioned.

Going to a restaurant alone, ordering and eating alone, felt like traveling alone.It was very comfortable but also lonely.

Sipping the fragrant red wine, she missed Alexander more and more.

"Hi, Lily!"

It was a familiar voice, and then a cheerful figure flashed in front of her, "What a coincidence! I'll say it's fate! Are you here for dinner too?"

Lily did not anticipate reuniting with Lisa so soon again.It was such a coincidence.

"Yeah, a friend recommended it, so I came to try it out." Lily nodded.

"Of course, it's good here!"

Lisa was a little proud when she said that, then asked, "Have you tried it? How is it?"

"It's not bad," she ordered the signature dish, which tasted good.

However, Lily still preferred to eat something from home.

Lisa was pleased to see Lily.

She stood next to Lily and whispered, "I didn't expect to meet you again as I thought I could only see you tomorrow.By the way, are you alone? Didn't you come on behalf of the company? Don't you have an assistant to take care of you?"

Thinking of the assistant she left, Lily raised her eyebrows.

"She's resting in the hotel."

Giselle was probably still worried about tomorrow's competition.

"Then your assistant is unprofessional! She should look after your food, transportation, clothing, and housing as your assistant.How could she rest and let you eat out alone?"

Lisa said with disapproval.

"I asked her to rest,"

She rubbed her ears and said frankly, "I wanted to be alone for a while."

Lisa smiled when she came over, but soon, she stopped and asked, "Am I bothering you?"

"It's okay.We haven't met for a long time.I'm delighted to see you, "

Lily said with a smile, "Are you alone?"

Lisa exclaimed as if she had just returned to her senses, "Oh! I forgot I had an appointment!"

She looked inside and said, "I've got to go.Let’s meet again when I have time."

"Okay," she said happily, and Lisa walked away.

Lily looked back and saw that Lisa had gone to sit across from another woman.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 318

A boy, maybe five or six years old, was seated on the other side of the woman and was using a knife and fork to eat.He looked like a little gentleman and was quite cute.

Probably aware that someone was looking at him, the little boy looked up at Lily and then smiled at her.He was a little shy but very well-behaved.

Lily liked it at a glance.

The boy was adorable.

Seeing him, she suddenly remembered what Alexander had said before.

He had assumed she wanted a child and suggested a son and a daughter when she brought the two wood carvings home.

At the time, she chastised him for spouting nonsense, but now that she had given it some due thought, she realized that a baby with Alexander would be pretty adorable.

Raising the corners of her lips, she turned her head and tooka picture of the food with her phone.She then sent it to Alexander with a message, "Food porn."

Considering the jet lag, it must be very late over there, and he had probably gone to bed.She did not expect a reply.

The message was acomfort for her because she missed him.

Unexpectedly, he replied very quickly and sent her a photo of steak and mashed potatoes, with a reply, "Likewise."

How interesting! The more they interacted, Lily felt that they were becoming closer.It was cruel that he sent her a picture of her favorite dish.She felt as if she could smell the delicious steak over the phone.She pouted, held the phone with both hands, and replied, "Eating alone in the middle of the night will make you fat!"

"I'm already married.Who cares if I'm fat?" He replied.

Whoa! How dare he say that! Lily texted, "If you get fat, I'll request a refund!"

Alexander replied, "Goods sold are not refundable."

What a blatant provocation! Was he fearless? Lily thought for a while, and just when she wanted to give him another reply, she suddenly heard a heavy thud, followed by exclamations.

There were sounds of cups and plates that fell to the ground, and the chairs and tables were pushed away.

There were even people beside her standing up.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмLily was stunned for a moment before she turned around in shock.

Someone collapsed behind her, and the people around them appeared to be baffled.There was a woman half-kneeling on the floor, and she was crying.There was too much noise around, and it was unclear why she was sobbing.

Lily saw Lisa at a glance! Lily immediately got up, walked over quickly, and saw Lisa looking scared and anxious.

Lisa’s eyes were red as she said, "What should I do? What happened?

"Lisa?"

After calling her, Lily looked down and found that a boy was twitching on the ground.It was the same boy that smiled at her earlier.His face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were rolling.He was in a very serious condition.

The crowd formed a circle, but no one dared to do anything.The servers in the restaurant were also terrified, but they kept calm and called an ambulance.

"Lily, he..." Lisa was about to cry.

The woman half-kneeling next to the little boy was already crying and shouting.It seemed that the woman was his mother.

"Let me see!"

Before she could think about it, Lily crouched down to check.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 319

Lily bent down to check and found the child’s face and neck sweating.

When she reached out to touch his back, she found it sweaty too.He was sweating profusely, and his hands and feet trembled.

There were also red dots all over his face.

"He must be allergic to something," Lily said as she unbuttoned the child's shirt.

"What are you doing?! Who are you?! Don't touch my child!" Helen roared.

She pulled on Lily's arm, refusing to let her touch the child.

"He has an allergic reaction.If we don’t deal with it now, his life may be in danger!"

Lily turned her head and shouted back at Helen, who was still dazed.

Lily did not give two hoots about Helen being angry with her.

Hearing Lily’s words, Lisa finally returned to her senses and bent over to stop Helen.

"Lily's my friend, Helen.She's only trying to help Nick.Don't worry."

Anxiousness had probably overcome Helen, or maybe Lisa's words managed to convince her.

Helen continued to sob, but she no longer attempted to stop Lily.

Lily quickly unbuttoned the child's collar and took off his shirt.

Sure enough, a rash had spread across the child’s chest.It was indeed an allergic reaction.

She looked at Helen and asked, "What did he eat?"

Her tone was severe, and her eyes glinted with a sharp light.

After some thought, Helen said in a dazed voice, "He only had some bread and orange juice.What's the matter? Was there something wrong with the food?"

Helen looked toward the servers that were standing amongst the onlookers.

"There’s something wrong with the food you served us.If anything happens to my child, I will sue you!"

The other guests panicked when she shouted this sentence.

Lily did not care to explain the situation as she only thundered, "Stop crowding! He can't breathe with you guys surrounding him! Also, get a big glass of water.Quickly!"

The scene was a mess.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмOne of the servers went to fetch water while the others busied themselves with appeasing the guests.

The whole restaurant was in utter chaos.

Lisa was uncertain if Lily could help, but seeing Lily’s calm expression, Lisa could only place her trust in Lily.

Lily turned and looked around, trying to find something that could induce vomiting, but she had trouble finding something slim and long.

The knife and fork felt unsafe.

Without overthinking, she doused her hand with water and stuffed it into the child's mouth, pressing down on the base of his tongue with her index and middle finger.

"What are you doing?!"

Helen, who could have waited quietly on the sidelines, instantly screamed when she saw Lily do this.

"Are you crazy?! Get your filthy hand out of my son’s mouth!"

The next second, the child made a retching sound.

Lily quickly pulled out her hand, and the child regurgitated the contents in his stomach.

The vomitus gave off a disgusting sour smell, encouraging the onlookers to disperse.

Helen was stunned and almost vomited as well.She quickly covered up her mouth and turned her head to the side.

"Server!" Lily called, ignoring the food particles that clung to her hand.

Lisa hurriedly handed over a glass of water.

Lily brought the glass to the child's lips and fed the water to him little by little.

After a while, Nick started looking better.

Even though he had yet to regain consciousness, at least the convulsions had stopped.

Only then did Lily breathe a sigh of relief.She turned to look at the child’s mother, covering her nose and mouth.

"Since he has allergies, he should always have his anti-allergy medicine on him, correct? Where is it?"

With widened eyes, Helen looked at Lily in disbelief.

"I never knew he had allergies." Lily went silent.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 320

‘Is this woman really this child’s mother? How does she not know her child has allergies?!’ Lily looked at Lisa with puzzlement in her eyes, and Lisa just smiled back helplessly.

Coincidentally, the ambulance arrived, and the medical staff rushed over to inspect the child before loading him into the ambulance.

Lily heaved a sigh of relief when the medical staff took over.She cleaned her hands and was about to settle the bill and leave when Helen grabbed onto her clothes.

"You can’t leave! You have to go to the hospital with me!"

"Helen!"

Lisa exclaimed, "You can’t do this! Lilsy’s my friend!"

"I'm sorry, Lisa," Helen said as she looked toward Lisa, "I need her to go to the hospital with me even if she is your friend.It’s still uncertain whether Nick will be okay.Who knows if what she did to Nick earlier harmed him instead."

"No, I’m sure it didn’t.I believe in Lilsy,"

Lisa swore as she trusted her friend.Helen smiled bitterly.

"It’s pointless even if you believe in her.You know very well that I’ll be unable to explain it to Mike if anything happens to Nick.I snuck Nick out today.If something happens to him, I..."

"I understand your difficult position, Helen, but Lilsy..."

"I'll go with her," Lily said lightly.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe had instantly understood the duo’s argument.Helen was worried Lily’s actions earlier would cause harm to the child.

Lily had no choice but to do that, as severe food allergies could cause anaphylaxis.

Moreover, Nick was just a child.If she had not taken first aid measures in time and the worst happened, it would most likely be fatal.She could not just sit by and watch the child suffocate to death.

"Lilsy..."

Lisa looked at Lily apologetically.

Helen and Lily were her friends, but it was insulting and disrespectful for Helen to do this.

"It’s okay.I understand Helen’s concerns as she’s Nick’s mother," Lily expressed her understanding and smiled.

Although she could understand Helen’s concerns and worries as a mother, she could not understand Helen’s ignorance of her own child.

It was okay if it was regarding small matters, but something as serious as an allergy that concerned the child’s life? How did Helen not know about this? Under Helen’s insistence, Lily followed her to the hospital.

Lisa was worried and followed them as well.

The medical staff sent the child to the emergency ward while the trio had to wait outside.

Helen was anxious and continuously paced back and forth.

Even Lisa’s comforting words did nothing to calm her.

Lily knew Helen was overthinking, judging from her anxious expression.

‘How could a mother not care about her child? Helen might've had an oversight, or that was the first time her son had an allergic reaction, and she just happened to be there.

Lily’s mind was running wild.

Raising a child was no simple task, after all.She thought that having children of her own one day would be nice.

However, that thought now completely vanished.

Sounds of rapid footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

It sounded like leather shoes slapping against the hard, tiled floor.

Before Lily could turn and look at the source of the sound, she saw Helen freeze with a horrified expression on her face.
